Former CIA case officer Marc Sageman says the membership of "Al-Qaeda"
has dwindled to a paltry two dozen people, and its leadership is completely
cut off from the mostly "petty criminals and gang members"
that are now the target of the war on terror.

Such a sweeping denouncement of the strength of Al-Qaeda is at odds
with the constantly hyped threat of the terror network by media outlets
and government.

"Dr Sageman said al-Qaeda's leaders had been all but cut off from
the current crop of jihadists and comprised no more than two dozen people.
The threat was now coming from home-grown young men in their early 20s
who recruited mostly on the internet," reports
news.com.au.

"Sageman said there were "potentially
thousands" of these "new" terrorists, although
they were incapable of replacing older terror networks because
of their self-organising, independent structure. Many were petty
criminals or gang members who eventually drifted back to their
Islamic roots."

The ex-CIA man's words are likely to be swept under the carpet by global
arms contractors and security companies, who have collectively made
well over a trillion dollars by propping up the specter of Al-Qaeda's
deadly threat.

"When the dust finally settles on the 'War on Terror', the next
generation will look back on the politicians, media and security corporations
mega-hyping of the Al Qaeda threat, and view it all in a similar way
to how we now look back on those who claimed their nations were infected
with witches in the 1600s and 1700s. That is, with disbelief and disdain,"
comments
blogger Darryl Mason.

"Future generations will also probably wonder why leaders like
President Bush, former British prime minister Tony Blair and soon-to-be-former
Australian prime minister John Howard expounded so much energy, money
and fear-mongering in hyping the "worldwide" threat posed
by Al Qaeda."
